In the background of intensifying global climate change and rapid urbanisation, the frequent occurrence of extreme hydrological events and the increase in surface pollution pose serious challenges to the environmental quality of water bodies. Moreover, with the significant increase in public awareness of environmental protection, higher demands have been placed on water quality monitoring techniqu

The phenomenon of global framework agreements has emerged through the difficulties of regulating the global labour market where the multinational enterprises' operations have been driven by an economic agenda and profit. The challenges of creating transnational legislation have brought social actors, such as the United Nations and the International Labour Organisation, to initiate self-regulat

This thesis examines the nature and purpose of the Greek sciences ἀριθμητική, λογιστική and γεωμετρία in the texts of Plato. The statements of some other ancient authors are also mentioned, and the relevant modern research is consulted. ἀριθμός is at any instance, as Klein has already noted, ‘a definite number of definite objects’. In Plato’s philosophical ἀριθμητική, ἀριθμός seems to always consi

Additiv tillverkning (AM), vanligtvis kallad 3D-utskrift, erkänns som en transformativ metod inom modern tillverkning. Tekniken möjliggör framställning av komplexa geometrier med ökad materialeffektivitet, lokaliserad produktion och större designfrihet. Trots dessa fördelar kvarstår utmaningar när det gäller att optimera AM-processer för att säkerställa resurseffektivitet – särskilt i att minska mAdditive Manufacturing (AM), commonly referred to as 3D printing, has known as a transformative approach in modern manufacturing. It enables the production of complex geometries with reduced material usage, localized fabrication, and improved design flexibility. Despite these advantages, challenges remain in optimizing AM processes to ensure resource efficiency, particularly in minimizing material

Our hands are highly intricate structures with complicated pathways for sensation and motor control. When exposed to a nerve-affecting injury, the process of rehabilitation is long and complicated, with no guarantee of success. Studies have shown that electrical stimulation proximal to the injury site could provide a way to regain sensations in the distal parts of the hand. By stimulating in diffe

Syftet med uppsatsen “priset för säkerhet” har varit att undersöka hur remissinstanserna i förfarandet om säkerhetszonerna resonerar kring mänskliga rättigheter i sina remissvar för att få förståelse för vilka intressen de värdesätter. För att uppnå detta har en deskriptiv argumentationsanalys inspirerad av Arne Næss teknik pro et contra dicere genomförts på de remissvar som lämnades in för promem

Då andelen äldre ökar globalt kommer allt fler personer vara i behov av medicinteknisk utrustning, såsom hygienstolar, för att genomföra olika basala hygienrelaterade aktiviteter. Kommodpannor är vanliga tillbehörsprodukter till hygienstolar som traditionellt har fästs under hygienstolens sitts med hjälp av skenor, en fästmetod som medför hygienproblem samt en klämrisk för vårdtagaren.This thesis project was completed in collaboration with Arjo, a MedTech company headquartered in Malmö, Sweden.

This thesis analyzes lived experiences from former juku students as well as promotional material produced by three shingakujuku (Nichinōken, Yotsuya Ōtsuka, Sapix) aimed at the private junior high school entrance examinations in Japan. The research questions aims to investigate the framing of the future and outcome of attending juku as well as how former students reflect on their own experience an

This thesis investigates the portrayal of intimate partner violence (IPV) in The Invisible Man and It Ends with Us, focusing on the cultural narratives these films construct and their broader social implications. Drawing on Critical Discourse Analysis, Stuart Hall’s Representation Theory, and Raewyn Connell’s concept of the gender order, the study explores how the films depict IPV and engage with

After a brief introduction to the current general milk industry, the emergence of oat milk is presented, as well as shifting trends in milk consumption. This study aims to analyze oat milk precisely. The analysis is done in terms of packaging. Therefore, oat milk packaging and all the packaging elements were analyzed. After a literature review of Consumer Perception, Consumer Motivation, Consume

I dagens samhälle är en stor del av industrin beroende av kemiska reaktioner. Hastigheter för kemiska reaktioner kan påskyndas med hjälp av katalysatorer. Heterogena katalysatorer, alltså katalysatorer av fast karaktär, består av ett bärarmaterial på vilket det aktiva katalyserande ämnet är applicerat. På företaget Hulteberg Chemistry & Engineering AB används pulver som katalysatorbärare till Heterogenous catalysts consist of a large surface area support material applied with the catalytic active phase, and the activity of a catalyst is often correlated to the surface area per volume. Support materials often need to be processed further to be optimal for specific processes. For example, powders can be suitable for minireactors or fluidized-bed reactors. However, in a fixed-bed reactor,

This thesis contributes to the exploration of business models with an aspect of change, by ap- plying the concept of dynamic capabilities. The aim is to explore how entrepreneurial firms utilise dynamic capabilities in order to create resilient business models in times of technological change and uncertainty. Therefore, a multiple case study was conducted on the lab-grown food and dairy industry.

Many models beyond the Standard Model that predict the existence of multiple Higgs bosons. In general, some of these additional Higgs bosons could be quasi-degenerate in mass either to each other or to the observed 125 GeV Higgs boson. The goal of this thesis is to study under which circumstances we can resolve such Higgs bosons. We first make the simplifying assumption that the observed and predi

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this research is to extend the concept of customer loyalty by applying it to a pharmacy retail setting using the perspective and understanding of both pharmacy professionals and consumers in order to comprehend which factors influence loyalty construction in this sector as opposed to in other retail industries. Theoretical perspective: This study focuses on survey

To protect the rights of the individual or to ensure legal certainty where witnesses should not be affected by reprisals is the question raised in the debate for anonymous witnesses. Therefore, is this essay based on understanding how a police commissioner and a defense lawyer's legal consciousness can be understood based on the topic of anonymous witnesses. The main problem within the debate

One of the main challenge’s society faces today is climate change caused by CO2 due to the de-pendence on fossil fuels. To combat the increasing CO2 levels there is a need to develop renewable fuels. One such fuel could potentially be derived from lignin. In this thesis, lignin derived from a pulp and paper mill was first treated and cleaned. The lignin was then processed by catalytic hydroproces

As Muslim communities have become more permanently established in Western European societies, debates around the public practice of Islam in these societies have become more prevalent, while the “global war on terror” rhetoric has aided the construction of Muslim minorities into “Others” along lines of religious and cultural differences. Based on theories of minority participation in the public sp

Sammanfattning Begreppet underrättelseverksamhet kan innefatta brottsförebyggande verksamhet. Det handlar då om rättsutredande myndigheters arbete med att förhindra eller förebygga brottslig verksamhet. För att kunna bedriva ett effektivt arbete proaktivt krävs att adekvat information insamlas och att denna insamling sedan ligger till grund för en vidare bearbetning och analys.

When crime prevention is concerned it comes down to investigative authorities efforts to avoid or prevent criminal activity. For intelligence to be able to work effectively the process requires that adequate information is collected and that this collection may form the basis for further processing and analysis. The infor

This thesis will study the notions of governance and corruption and thereby apply it to the case of Jamaica in order to understand how political corruption weakens the country´s governmental legitimacy and principles of democracy. Seeing that corruption is a symbol for the disintegration of state power, it is argued that corruption distorts development of political, social and economic institution

Vi lever idag i en tid av fundamental osäkerhet och striden får vi inte sällan höra står mellan de som går en osäker framtid till mötes och de som nostalgiskt blickar tillbaka. I Vellinge möter vi de som med vemod ser sin ort förändras till vad den inte tycks ha varit förut, liksom de som betraktar ortens utveckling i starkt positiva ordalag. Men vi möter också personer med olika materiella förutsThe following thesis examines two responses to processes of social change within the small town of Vellinge in the province of Scania, Sweden. The experiences of change within the town appear in the guise of two contradicting narratives – one of the town’s progress and the other of its decline – which I aim to approximate from nine in-depth interviews with eight inhabitants conducted in two cycles
